KS2 Maya Scheme of Work with Lesson Plans

The Maya – KS2 Scheme of Work is a detailed unit of work for schools, with 14 lesson plans, created by teachers who accompanied Dr Diane Davies, a Maya archaeologist, on CPD trips to the Maya area.

**All the proceeds from the sale of this scheme of work goes to the Chok Education Charity, which supports the education of Maya children at Melody School, Guatemala. **

The scheme of work is unique in being written by both a specialist on the Maya and primary school teachers who have spent time visiting ancient Maya cities and spending time with the Maya people today.

In particular, Mark Woolley (Our Lady of Mount Carmel RC Primary School, Ashton-Under-Lyne), Richard Petts (Grindleford Primary School, Derbyshire), Jennifer Farmer (Aldington Primary School, Kent), Selina King (Holywell School, Bedfordshire) and Lisa White (Townend Junior School, Derbyshire).
